[R-sig-ME] installing lme4 and Matrix from R-Forge for R-devel (2.14)

[Yvonnick Noel]

Hello,

Thanks for your reply.

I too suspect a problem with the site rather than the package. The 
reason I ask is that a small package I uploaded on R-Forge (R2STATS, a 
GTK interface to glm and glmer) builds OK on R-2.13.2 but not on 
R-devel. As R-2.14 is to be released in a month or so, I anticipate a 
little bit.

Here is the log message on R-Forge (note the rather old date):

Thank you.
